Blog Buzz: Afghanistan, Oil, and Immigration

Both Barack Obama and John McCain are popping up all over the blogs because of their plans for Afghanistan. In Obama's Monday op-ed in the New York Times, he said that his top priority after ending the war in Iraq would be to increase the presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to fight al Qaeda and the Taliban. Some liberal bloggers approve; others are unconvinced that his strategy is plausible, while others are simply stumped. Conservative bloggers agree on the importance of finishing work in Afghanistan but are very critical of Obama's "incoherent" op-ed and "hollow rhetoric". McCain has also called for a surge in troops in Afghanistan.

Peak Oil May Sprout "Space Program-size" Funding, Article Posted on TwinTrader.com

Steve Forbe’s prediction last year of $30 oil has proven to be way off the mark. Many other “well-informed” pundits of the “peak oil” theory have turned mute, recently, and for very good reasons. It appears that the peak oil theorists are winning the debate this year, not with mere talking points, but with hard price and inventory levels data reported each day, and each week in the case of oil inventories.

Breaking Down Blog Spam Malware

Jesper Johansson, co-author of Windows Vista Security: Securing Vista Against Malicious Attacks, recently wrote an article in The Register which dissects a new type of threat. Anyone with a blog has probably seen blog spam- comments made on blog posts which have little or nothing to do with the actual blog post, but contain links to spam-related web sites. I have spam filters in place, so I rarely even see the blog spam posts. They are an annoyance, and I simply delete them in periodic batches. However, Jesper did stop to look at the spam and noticed that a new breed was becoming prevalent. The new breed, rather than just leading to some annoying spam site, are actually malware attacks. For a complete breakdown of the threat, and Jesper's dissection and analysis, check out Anatomy of a Malware Scam.

The discussion of statistics being weird is valid. In my blog post in June on the ADA update, I pointed it out as well. After a lot of digging on veterans and U.S. govt websites, I couldn't find a resolution. I'll paste below the relevant part of my blog because I can't actually link to it. (sorry). BEGIN BLOG POST EXERPT: "Regarding disabled American veterans, a 2007 Census report said that there are 6.1 million veterans with a disability, with about 3.5 million of them over 65 years of age. However, according to the Associated Press, the number of DAVs has increased 25% (to 2.9 million) since 2001, because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't know why the AP article and the Census figures were so far off on the number of DAVs. According to the AP article, there are "755,000 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
